Nope. They never claimed that in previous minutes.

It looks like the owner contracted an engineer to determine if it’s unsound (see link). Apparently, there are some issues and they recommended demolition. Frankly, I wonder how legit these inspections are. Sure, there are some honest ones out there, but how many take the wink and the nod? I mean it can’t be that hard to brace a narrow three story facade.
